We all have them at home, those displeasing bunches of wires spreading across the rooms, catching dust. We all thought there is not much we can do to break this aesthetic chaos, but, in reality, with a bit of imagination and creativity, we can tame these cords and hide them from sight in pleasant ways, freshening up the interiors. To inspire you, here are some ingenious solutions showing you how to mask cables.

There’s no better way to prove your imagination other than turning these cables into interesting wall art, as we see in the images below.
